This film is from the Hamilton collection and contains footage of Stephen and Julia Hamilton's wedding day on July 1st, 1972, Stephen's 21st birthday, and Julia's 21st birthday on March 14th, 1973. There is footage of Butlins in Bognor Regis, West-Sussex, where they went for their honeymoon from July 1st to 8th 1972.
A man is on a beach wearing a shirt and tie; he talks to the camera and smiles as he walks backwards down the beach. There is a shot of a heart drawn in the sand with` Julia loves Stephen' in it.
Julia is on a boat and smiling at the camera. Then the shot changes, and Stephen is standing behind the boat's captain, smiling at the camera. There are a few more shots from the boat and then the couple are at a zoo; there are close ups of giraffes, elephants, camels and a rhino.
The following shot opens with Stephen standing on a hill with a baseball bat; he pretends to hit the cameraman with the bat. There are shots of cards and cake for Stephen's 21st birthday; Stephen and Julia kiss and then they cut slices of the cake. They smile for the camera and this is followed by shots of family and some friends sitting around in the house.
In the following section family and friends have gathered outside a shop after the marriage of Julia and Stephen. The couple pose for photos and then get into their car and drive off. Back at the house family and friends have gathered for the reception party. Lots of children walk around in the front garden and a little girl tries to give Julia a lucky horse shoe. There is a shot taken from the back of the car as they drive away from the house.
The next scene opens with a shot of another man dancing around with a teddy bear; Julia comes over, takes it off him and he takes a picture of her holding it. Then there are shots of a young boy and two young girls who are posing for the camera. The shot cuts to Stephen walking up steps to his accommodation in a Butlins chalet. Julia then comes along the path and there are shots taken from the balcony looking down at her as she makes her way up the steps to the accommodation.
There are lingering shots of ducklings and then the camera zooms out to reveal a sailing pond which has some boats on it. Then there are shots of Julia and Stephen walking along a sea wall and joking about. There is a brief shot of a male and female silhouette box and then shots of the couple cutting their wedding cake in their house. Julia takes all of the decorations off the cake while Stephen makes faces behind her.
Julia, Stephen and another couple attend an air show where several Spitfire planes fly in formation above the crowd. There are lingering shots of the planes in the air, landing and taking off as well as shots of a parachutist slowly coming down to earth. The other couple walk arm in arm towards the camera and walk around with Stephen. There is also a shot of a concord taking off and flying above the crowd. There are lots of army jets and passenger planes on the ground, which people are allowed to go into and have a look around.
It is Julia's 21st birthday and she poses beside a cake and her cards. The next shots are taken along a promenade at Scarborough as Julia and Stephen walk along together. They joke at the camera and keep walking. A man walks along behind them with a group of donkeys.
A woman, possibly Julia or Stephen's, mother walks along the promenade in Scarborough with them and then she and Julia have a go on an amusement ride. The mother has difficulty getting up onto the ride and then this is followed by shots of them going around and around in it. The three of them go out on a boat where there are many shots of Julia and the woman, as well as shots of the coastline.
